Turnovers lead to EMU's 70-48 loss against Syracuse

After Raven Lee made a long-range shot from the wing to put Eastern Michigan University up 3-2, things turned sour as turnovers led to its 70-48 loss to the Syracuse University Orange at the Carrier Dome on Dec. 31.

EMU (7-5) committed 18 turnovers compared to 13 from Syracuse.

“You come off a big game like Saturday (against Villanova), you’re going to have something,” Syracuse head coach Jim Boeheim said in the postgame press conference. “But some part of the let down shouldn’t come after 10-12 minutes. I think we felt we had the game under control, and we didn’t, offensively settling a little bit.”
